Cal in Berkeley Student Internship Program Dear Student, Since you showed interest in the Cal in Berkeley Student Internship Porgram at this years Calapalooza, we are sending you this email to inform you about the program. Priority applications are due September 18th but we will be accepting rolling applications until the end of September. Info session will be held September 15, 21, and 22nd in West Madrone, in MLK at 5:00-5:45. There will be free food!!! The Cal in Berkeley Student Internship Program offers UC Berkeley students the opportunity to intern with local government and nonprofits through project-based internships. Don't be confused and think only social sciences are needed for these positions. Along with social sciences, all skills and majors are needed!! In addition, students participating in the program will partake in an enriching 2-unit weekly seminar that offers time to reflect on internship experience along with professional skill building. These positions are not direct service internships or boring administrative jobs, but instead focus on policy creation, policy research, program design and non-profit management (including marketing, fundraising, strategic planning, etc.). While you discover the many ways in which you can contribute to your community and bring about action on the issues you care about, your Cal in Berkeley experience will provide you with valuable real-world work experience and important skills which will complement your education at Cal and assist you in your career goals no matter what your major. To read the available internship positions and download an application, please go to <http://students.berkeley.edu/osl/calcorps.asp?id=1095> http://students.berkeley.edu/osl/calcorps.asp?id=1095.
